Transformation of Coordinates
In order to transform from local coordinates to the national coordinates:
Questions
Traverse Surveying
Purpose of the surveying: Property surveys to establish boundaries Location and construction layout surveys for highways, railways and other works Providing ground control points for photogrammetric mapping
Questions
Types of Traverse Open traverse: starts at known point and ends with unknown one.
Types of Traverse Closed traverse: starts at known point and ends with unknown one.
Choice of Traverse As close as possible to the details Distances shall be equal between stations Insure durability of stations No sight obstructions
